    2. Today's lesson will be completed in Code.org, which you should log into through Clever.
      1. There are fourteen (14) levels for this lesson. You will need to COMPLETE (PERFECT) levels one thru thirteen (1-13) by meeting the objectives in each portion.
        1. (Level 14 is a Free Play activity meant as a reward for completing 1-13.)
        2. You will know the level is completed because it will have turned a SOLID, BRIGHT GREEN.
        3. If the Level is a pale green or only outlined with green, you will not earn credit for completing it. Revisit the assignment and see what you're missing.
    3. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. While missed work CAN be made up (before the above due date), students should not have the mindset that they can be off task during our scheduled Creative Arts time. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
